Malenko:
well technically an MKII but I wanted one of those not a MAME cab, now i have both.
I found MAME while hunting for a SNES emu, when MAME added MKII support THATS when I wanted a MAME cab

rlemmon:
The two games i really loved as a kid were pacman and robocop. Since then i've alsways wanted to have one. Then I saw lusids cab and gave it a go and made a playstation two arcade,  then a robocop replica mame machine.

Mine




For the next project im seriously comsidering a replica pacman cabaret with a crapload of vertical games.

abzman2000:
my first true love was galaga (specifically ms. pac man/galaga but I only ever played galaga) and I always desired to have one, but when that proved too expensive I moved to emulation and then determined that a cab that emulated one machine was a waste of space (I didn't want to build a replica, but a genericly shaped cab) so I set out to design a control panel that was the most comfortable to use and allowed almost every emulated machine to be played closest to it's original layout.  That was two years ago, and I'm still cutting costs and lowering my expectations of the final layout. 

web.geek:
My first inspiration was my brother-in-law's cab back in 2004. Before then, I never even heard of MAME. The shame of it all is that he completed his cab without letting the rest of us even know he was working on such a thing. I blame my sister...siblings are so disloyal.
:angry:
After the unveiling, I immediately began my first cab (completed in February 2005), and now I am on to my second. Reading through these forums provides all of the inspiration I need to move on to a third, fourth, and so on. But after my second MAME, I'll probably move towards restos.

daywane:
I was new to today's type of PCs.
My first was a 700mghtz HP PC
I had heard of Emus .
I got on the internet and looked for Atari 8 bit emu.
I did that and started looking more and bumped into Mame.
